From 18th of April 2024, Sectional Certificates will be added as a new sub-section under the Award Approvals tab.
Who can print certificates and where can I print certificates?
This function is available to Leader accounts and above that have the ‘Can download personal
information to CSV files’ permission applied, and it will be located on the left-hand menu > Award Approvals > Sectional Certificates.
The option to search through Location and User Details is available. If you also have subgroups, this is an option provided.
For the 'Search' button to be active you must select the section you wish to print the certificate for.
The participants who have successfully completed the selected section will then show below. Here you will have the option to select the participant to 'Print Certificate'. You will also be able to 'Download spreadsheet' for participant information.
If the 'Print Certificate' has been successful, a PDF of your chosen certificate(s) will be downloaded onto your computer and the 'Certificate Printed' date will be updated. Please note: the downloaded document depends on the format you've chosen to use on your computer. It would be best to use a PDF format.
Why can't I see the 'Print Certificate' or 'Download to spreadsheet' button?
You won't be able to see these two buttons if you don't have the 'Can download personal information to CSV files' permission applied. If you don't have this permission and need it, you will need to speak to your DofE Manager.
Leaders will download complete versions of their participants’ sectional certificates/Certificates of Achievement. This will mean they don’t need to be printed onto the certificate paper that was previously purchased through DofE Essentials and instead can be printed themselves. We would recommend printing these certificates directly onto a plain white A4 160-180gsm card.
